It seems to me that it's fairly simple. If the state definition of DTP could be interpreted to include carrying a pistol in a holster while acting otherwise normal, it's a legit concern. Otherwise, it's not.
Only trouble is I'm having a hard time finding the relevant law. Anybody know what law DTP falls under?
I have found this info on the subject. First is the City of Lansing ordnance, followed by the State law. Remember a local unit can have additional things in an ordnance of D the P. Most of the locals I have seen follow closely the State law.
